I refused to use the service lift these days.

这些天我拒绝使用服务电梯。

I was grateful for the quiet, dark interior of the building, for the service lift that saved me from the stairs.

我很感激大楼安静、黑暗的内部，感谢电梯把我从楼梯上救了下来。

I hurried past, not wanting to be responsible for waking up the other residents, and, instead of taking the main stairs, headed down in the service lift.

我匆匆过去， 不想吵醒其他住户，没有走主楼梯， 而是乘坐服务电梯下楼。
